1984 giving experiences

The statement “A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.” applies to George Orwell’s book 1984. I think George Orwell does this successfully throughout his book. In examining a writing style, we look at the tone of the author which in his descriptiveness in his writing puts us in the same spots as his characters, giving us the same experiences the characters in the book have. This is important mostly because this teaches us to be somewhat grateful for the kind of life we live today instead of the version he wrote about in 1948, when he believed the world had no hope. You can feel his hopefulness less through his writing as he bitterly believes every word he puts down. Through his vivid imagination he was able to create a feeling of complete hopelessness through his style of writing in such a detailed and uptight manner. Everything he wrote down was deeply thought out and considered that anyone reading might second guess whether the book was truly a fiction novel. This book has the ability to change and influence our perspective of the real world. We feel a lot of loss of control in our lives. We also considered the context under which it was written; the book was written after World War 2 and after the Nazis ruling creating a totalitarian society also while former Russia's new political system, socialism which was technically communism rose. Lastly symbols used in the book such as “Big Brother”, which symbolised O’Brien, the antagonist. The character's reassuring and like a friend to Winston Smith although in the end O'Brien turns his back on Winston because his loyality to the party is greater than him.
